What Is Peter North’s Net Worth?
Peter North, born Alden Joseph Brown on May 11, 1957, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a retired Canadian adult actor, director, and producer. His estimated net worth is $4 million. This valuation is based on his extensive career in the adult film industry, encompassing roles as a performer, director, and producer.
Peter North’s Career in the Adult Film Industry
North’s career in the adult entertainment industry began in the early 1980s. Initially, he performed under the name Matt Ramsey, focusing on gay pornography before transitioning to straight adult films. This transition marked a turning point in his career, leading to widespread recognition and success. Over the course of his career, Peter North appeared in more than 2,588 adult productions. His work spanned across various genres within the adult film industry, contributing significantly to his overall earnings.
Between 1998 and 2007, North’s career peaked, seeing him involved in numerous high-profile projects. Besides performing, North also ventured into directing, having directed 13 adult film projects. Directing allowed him to have more creative control over his work, potentially leading to higher revenue through royalties and ownership of the projects. In 2001, he established Northpole Entertainment, his own production company. This venture enabled him to produce and distribute adult films, further increasing his income streams. The financial details of Northpole Entertainment’s performance are not publicly available, but owning a production company would have provided additional avenues for wealth accumulation through sales, licensing, and distribution rights.
Legal Issues and Personal Relationships
Peter North’s career was not without controversy. He was investigated in connection with Traci Lords’ involvement in the adult film industry while she was underage. Although Lords had falsified her age, North’s participation in scenes with her could have resulted in legal consequences. However, the investigation was dropped when it became evident that no one was aware of Lords’ actual age at the time.
In 2014, Peter North married Nadia, also known as Nadia North, who he met within the adult film industry. Nadia and Peter have appeared in multiple adult film projects together.
In 2019, Nadia filed for a restraining order against North, citing instances of domestic violence. She alleged that she was subjected to domestic violence on two separate occasions that year, one of which allegedly resulted in a concussion. Later, Nadia claimed that she had been subjected to 20 similar instances of domestic violence, with North acting as the aggressor. In 2021, Nadia continued to accuse North of marital misconduct and sex crimes. She claimed that Peter North raped her on at least one occasion. To back up her claims, Nadia recorded the audio of one of these attacks, which took place at their home in Newport Beach. She claims that she hid her phone under the bed during the attack, which allegedly involved North throwing her to the floor and kicking her in the back of the head. This incident was sparked because Nadia had threatened to leave the relationship. After the attack was over, Nadia alleges that North force-fed her prescription medication, blocked the door, and waited for her to fall asleep.
Nadia also claimed that during a period between 2017 and 2019, she suffered multiple injuries due to domestic violence at the hands of Peter. These injuries apparently included broken ribs, concussions, head contusions, and at least one spinal injury.
The alleged rape took place in 2019 when the couple was attempting to sell a home that had mold damage. Peter demanded that they both go to the house to look at the mold, and once they were there, he allegedly forced himself upon her despite total lack of consent. In addition, Peter was accused of forcing his wife to do multiple “extreme scenes” within a short period of time while they were working together on adult film projects.
